Took over a month to get my certificate for my Marauder and it took a few follow-up calls. Lists it as Grand Marquis VIN with a V motor. What is up with that? the certificate matches the build data R. Pita gave me.
I did not realize I have a M75 in my VIN, 2MEHM75V13X663xxx for Grand Marquis rather than M79 for Marauder. Any one else heard of this??

Must be an '03. All '03's have the M75 designation. The M79 coding didn't come into effect until the '04 model year.

My '03 has the M75 and was built 4SEP02. I have not gotten the cert yet, but VIN ends in 636XXX. Hope this helps.

There's a search function? Really? Most of us just answer the same questions over and over again. :D

Damn your luck!
Looks like you bought a fake.... so sorry....
Tell you what, I'll take it off your hands for 5 grand.
Then you can get a real marauder and I'll drive that fake cloned car.....

My insurance company listed mine as a GM for a few months untill they straightened it out with Ford.
As long as you got the "V" as your engine code you're good. Every 03 that i looked at has always had "M75" and every 04 is a "M79". On my Carfax it showed up as a 04 Grand Marquis/Marauder, kinda like my 96 Caprice Classic/Impala SS.
